packing table. Nearby, other packers 

 were nailing up the boxes and marking 

 them ready for shipment, while every 

 now and then a young man with a box 

 or two on a truck went rapidly past to 

 the scales outside, where the shipments 

 were turned over to the Adams Express 

 Co. agent, to be weighed and hauled 

 away. So great was the crush that the 

 shed beyond the packing room, gener- 

 ally used as a wagon shed or garage, 

 was called into service for the overflow 

 of orders, mostly perennials at the mo- 

 ment, waiting their turn on the pack- 

 ing bench. Getting the orders together 

 was often no small job — many of them 

 called for one or more of each of a 

 good many varieties of plants; some- 

 times a good many varieties of the 

 same plant. Every plant was carefully 

 labeled, showing a degree of system 

 that is admirable and that has done 

 much to place the business on a sound 

 footing. J. D. Eisele stopped long 

 enough to say: "Well, you have seen it 

 now, and the office is completely filled 

 with orders yet to go out" — with a 

 glad hand he was oflf. George A. Stroh- 

 lein seemed as happy and light-hearted 

 as though there was nothing on his 

 mind. He also seemed to be every- 

 where at once. W. H. Taplin said that, 

 despite every effort ^rom 7 a. m. to 10 

 p. m., they were not gaining on the 

 orders yet, though they soon hoped to 

 do so. Continuing, Mr. Taplin spoke of 

 the extraordinary demand for every 

 kind of plant for use in garden and 

 border. He said that this demand was 

 ahead of previous seasons in all varie- 

 ties of plants, without exception; that 

 roses were in strong request, due, in 

 part, to the fine display made at the 

 National Flower Show, and that palms, 

 while they were running low, were still 

 holding out in practically all sizes.

John P. Habermehl says that Moth-
